Topic: Ripping Failed (Read 5581 times)

Im successfully using my LinuxMCE box now which is great. Its only in UI1 at the moment but I still think it rocks!!

I have however come up with a problem. I am unable to rip and audio CD to MP3 or whatever format it rips to.

It goes through the motions when i click "copy cd" such as where I want to save it to but then a message comes up stating that "Ripping Failed" with no other information as to why this has happened.

I cant eject the CD either after I do this either which forces me to reset the machine.

I see that i need to go into a terminal from somewhere to maybe try debug the cd ripping error. I saw a similar post about dvds and this error. However im not sure how to get into the terminal from my LinuxMCE box? Or could I ssh in from another machine would this work??

ctrl+alt+f2 for entering in terminal. if you are entered in a terminal, use the umount command to eject the cd. also, use ripDiskWrapper.sh from /usr/pluto/bin to rip the cd. if there are problems you should see some errors. also, when you try to rip the cd from the grafic interface, try to look in DCERouter.log and 26_Disk_Drive.log.
